One network's loss is another's gain: Cameron Mathison, current co-host of Hallmark's Home & Family talk show that will end in August, will soon be joining the cast of ABC's General Hospital.

It's not clear for now how Mathison will be introduced to Port Charles, but his casting is a big deal for the soap world. The actor is best known for playing Ryan Lavery on the long-running All My Children. He appeared on the ABC sudser from 1998 to 2011 and earned two Daytime Emmy nominations.
